You know that this check rejects emails which are RFC 821 compliant?
For example:
Hans\,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
"Hans Muster"@test.de
Hans*[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
are all valid, but would be rejected.
I agree, that these email address are not really common, but I see no
reason to ban them (e.g. '=' in the local part is used by qmail based
setupts, which gets quite common in the Linux world today).
Not allowed in the local part (the part left of @) are only '
<>()[]\.,;:@"' (everything between the single quotes "'"), control
codes and not 7-Bit clean characters (which are handled fine by most
mail relays today, anyway). And these are also allowed if escaped by
prepending a backslash '\', or enclosing them in double quotes '"'
(except for newline and carriage return which have to be escaped
anyway).
Bye,
Benjamin.
PS: Just curious: is there a reason to write ([a-z0-9_]|\-|\\\.)
instead of [a-z0-9_.-] ?
